You are using a low-end class 5 (geforce 6150) with shared memory.

In vista the GPU is part of a video subsystem meant to take the graphics related tasks off the CPU. Ideally this would have its own Video ram. In your case it doesnt, and cannot handle the offloading of the video tasks efficiently. i.e. the video subsystem is over utilized, and thus the errors.

Look at it like trying to empty (offload) a 12 Gal tank using a shotglass.

depends on your cpu, and the HDD

Might want to also run a system file check for integrity issues.
run CMD as Admin:
sfc /scannow

I didnt see the diagnostic results. they are not in the post/or viewable.
as for check disk you couldnt have done it already, not if you checked for bad sectors and file errors.
